As you’re anti-rewrite, do you have concerns that a years development time won’t be able to cover 20+ years of development work? I think it was Coding Horror that said this is the greatest fallacy with rewrites - decades of invisible features and bug fixes are suddenly forgotten. I’ve not been involved with a rewrite so I can’t really speak from experience but that seemed to make sense.
